Show Notes
The race for Multnomah County Board of Commissioners chair heats up as two commissioners, Shannon Singleton and Julia Brim-Edwards, vie for the position. Singleton emphasizes breaking down department silos, while Brim-Edwards stresses strong management and transparency. A third candidate, Sharon Meieran, is considering a run. The budget is a major challenge, with potential cuts across various areas due to revenue shortfalls. Candidates differ on key issues, with Singleton focusing on housing and services, and Brim-Edwards on public safety funding and data-driven decisions. All candidates agree on standing against Trump administration threats. The full candidate field and their debates will shape the race as November approaches.
